parameters

Hello,

now I am trying to pass a string as a parameter to a control:

<% Dim strString = "Hello" %>
Text: <input type="TEXT" name="T2" value="<%=strString%>" size="60"
Here the output is: "Hello",
but when I try it with a control that runs on the server it doesn't work
(runat=server):

<% Dim strString = "Hello" %>
Text: <input type="TEXT" name="T2" value="<%=strString%>" size="60"
runat=server
Here the output is: "<%=strString%>"

I've tried to put the complete statement into a "Response.Write()" but that
doesn't do the trick either.

Is there a way to give a string as paramter to a control that runs on the
server?

Thanks.runat="server" creates an instance of an object server-side which provides a
very righ programming model. Your solution is how you'd do things in
classic-asp, but not in asp.net

<input type="TEXT" name="T2" id="someId" size="60"
runat=server
<script language="vb" runat="Server">
sub Page_Load
someId.Text = "Hello"
end sub
</script
or something similar using the codebehind model.

Cheers,
Karl

Thank you, it works, woot. The code even looks nicer. How about that.
